Putting on the Wedding Garments.

About four miles out of Tuscaloosa,
in returning from a Sunday visit to
plantation, we stopped at a negro
blacks were assembled for divine SER
vice The preacher was man with
powerful voice and gesture, and his
sermon was about the necessity of be-
ing arrayed in their wedding garments
and standing ready for the Masters
call. His congregation soon began to
warm up, and pretty soon one and
another commenced to drop out as if
overcome. The sermon was grand
and impressive, but way beyond the
comprehension of the ordinary planta-
ton hand. When we finally went out
and drove up the highway we found
men and women scattered along here
and there in the shade, and pretty
soon came to one young man who sat
with his arm around girl We
stopped the buggy, but neither of 'em
seemed to care, and pretty soon the
Colonel observed:
George is that case of love?"
Il reckon it ar, sab, but | doan
quite know" was the young mans
reply. ''Dat's a powerful sermon of
Elder Jackson's today. He's dun told
us to put on de wedding garments if we
want to be saved"
And so you intend TO put them on?"
Deed | does, sab. | only come
out half an hour ago, an Ize greed to

BEGGARs' DAY IN MExICo.-Through
out the length and breadth OF Mexico
Saturday is known as "beggars' day"
when, under special countenance of
church and state, mendicants of all de-
grees and both sexes levy demands upon
people with the utmost confidence. Out
of their coverts and lairs they swarm in
Incredible numbers-the blind, the halt,
the lame and the lazy-and before sun
rise on the morning aforesaid the streets
are literally filed with them. First they
make tour of the shops and markets,
and the obliging merchants, in anticipa-
ton of their coming, have laid by store
of small coin for the occasion. To refuse
to give would be a bad advertisement,
for among these professional mendicants
are many good customers for the rest of
the week. Then they HE themselves,
with their rags and crutches, to the
sanctuaries, and after mass is over and
the churches deserted they patrol every
street, leaving not house unvisited or
a person unsolicited. Philadelphia Re-

Objected to Too Many of Them.

Within the borders of Lincoln coun-

some as pretty daughters as can be
found in Dixie. As usual, his house
was the rendezvous CT the neighbour
hood galiants, and one favored young
man wooei. won and welded one of the
fair onas. Not long since a brother
of the proud bridegroom approached
and astonishcd our hero by asking the
hand of another one of his daughters.

Type Made from Paper.

Type made from paper is the latest
novelty. a process has been patented
by which large type for printing plac-
ards can be made from pulp. Such
letters are at present cut on wood.
The pulp is dessicated and reduced to
a powdered or comminuted state, af-
ter which it is thoroughly mixed with
a water-proofing liquid or material
such as paratfine oil, or drying lin
seed oil, for instance. The mixture
is then dried, and subsequently, pull
verified. In its pulverized state it is
introduced into a mold of the requis-
tie construction to produce the desired
article, type, or block. and then sub
jected to pressure to consolidate it,
and heat to render tacky or adhesive
the water-proofng material. Finally
the type is cooled while in the mold,
SO as to cause it to retain its shape and
solidity. Boston Transcript.

QUEER NOTIONS IN PENNSYLvA-
MA.

In the less serious affairs OF life with
the Pennsylvania Dutch they are not
lacking ID queer notions and practices
They insist on having their hair cut
when the moon is in Leo, that it may
grow strong and wiry, or In Aries, that
it may curl like a split dandelion stem /;
and if they pare their corns when the
moon is warning, as in duty bound, they
will disappear. Their plump daughters
also have few superstitions which have
been timorously handed down from
mother to child, that are cherished, wo
manlike, fondly and in secret. Should
you ever see one of these maidens astrid,
a house yard dog, or the gate, or the
bars, enduring such physical torment
like humble penanCe, under the dim
light of the moon, do not disturb her.
She will simply be propitiatIng good
fortune as to marriage. Nor will she
ever look through window glass, or over
her left shoulder, at new moon. She
dislikes bringing flowers in doors, for
that is an omen of i'll fortune, in that the
bridegroom should always come before
the flowers. If she cherish in some lit
tie corner of the garden II pretty bed of
SHdpOTdSOUs, sue uOoS SD iIOu1 ucE lrlu
belief in its potency destroying the evil
love charms of her rivals; or, if she dis
covers such evil charm to exist, she may
dispel it by lying vigilantly awake three
nights in succession until the midnight
growing of the cock.
In secret she also amuses herself by
catching snails and letting them crawl
in thinly spread oaken ashes on the
hearth, or before TIE fireplace, to trace
tue initial letter of her true lovers name.
If she go to bed early, laying her garters,
crossed, at the foot OF her bed, placing a
looking glass under her pillow, and
awaken in the highland what lass
would not with such expectancy in her
heartily striking light quickly, she
will see here lovers face in the glass.
Another delight of her simple heart and
life is chair snatching," which is not of
the kind INDUCED in by her married
American sister. When the new moon
has arisen she suddenly opens the house
door, and thrusts her trembling hand
out into the night for lock of her low
ers hair. If all her good spirits are with
her hopes she will not seek amiss, for
her sturdy Dutch lad, in league with the
fairies, is more than likely to be Loyalty
in waiting outside to thus provide her
with the longed for locks, in veritable
color and kind.

On the Verge OF Marriage.

Once engaged the happy pair should
avoid all public demonstrations of
affection, except that they may walk
together arm in arm, and the young
lady may drive out with her affianced
with servant behind. She must not,
however, go to the opera or theatre
with him alone; she must have chap
eron if she would consult the prejudices
of society.
While it is delightful to see young
couple really in love they should not
go to the theatre to show it. All I'M
sophisticated human beings are fond of
this egoisme a deux, but it is most
painful to the lookers-on. These
lovers should remember that people
are observing them, laughing at them;
and if they make love on stage-coach
drive, picnic, a lawn-tennis party,
the whole pleasure of the party is
spoiled. A woman loses her dignity by
this process, and nothing is finer in a
young woman than a sweet, maid
emily reserve.
When an engagement is announced
the family of the lover all call on that
of the lady. The announcement
should come from the mother of the
gentleman; as soon as is convenient
and proper there should be an invita-
ton extended by the family of the
young man to that of the young
woman. She then becomes an auto

goes out with her future mother-in-law
or sisters, and is one of them in fact

never travel alone with her lover. Our
language is singularly deficient;we have
no word to represent iance and
fiancee; my daughters engaged is a
very awkward phrase; my daughters
young man" is very countrified; my
daughters's lover" is scarcely proper
phrase; so we have to beat about the
bush unless we adopt the French word.
